💖 Boxer::Task 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the perl docs for Boxer::Task — it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual-verse, and yes it's a 3pm page so it's a Perl module thing. pull up a chair, we're doing this together 🫶

✨ VERSION ✨

Version v1.4.3 — that's the one, that's the moment. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this is the base class for all the Boxer tasks. the blueprint, the mother, the main character. 👑

and what do tasks do exactly? they coerce, they validate, and they process application commands. that's the whole personality, no cap.

the tasks that are currently implemented, as we speak, right now:

  • Classify
  • Serialize
  • Bootstrap

those three. that's the squad. 🎀

🦋 IDEAS 🦋

okay so the whole reason tasks are a separate lil thing from commands? it's so you can have different front-end interfaces — like, different ways to talk to the same brain. even though rn there's literally only a single command-line tool provided. it's giving "we're planning for the future and we're so valid for that." ✨

wrappers 💅

the idea: it might be useful to provide wrappers for existing command-line tools, preserving the full behavior of the underlying tool and only extending it with the relevant boxer options. keep the og vibes, add a lil sprinkle of boxer on top. iconic behavior. 🍓

Examples, bestie:

  • "debootstrap-boxer [...] [--boxer-node=NODE[,NODE2...]] [...]"

web 🌈

would be cool to offer a web service where you could request a customized system image to be generated for you, on demand. like… you ask, it makes, you receive. no cap, that would slay. 🔥
